• As currently written, I do not see how the hook meets WP:DYKINT. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:28, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Looking at the article, here is a possible suggestion:

• ALT1 ... that potter Abul Rauf Seemab was credited for saving Pakistani president Ayub Khan during an assassination attempt in 1968?

However, right now, the article does not appear to be ready for prime time. The article is in need of a copyedit, and some words have to be changed (for example, "passed away" has to go per WP:EUPHEMISM). The article is also only 1,530 characters long, which is a bit on the short side for a DYK article. More importantly, though, the nominator has not edited since the day of the nomination, so unless they return, or another editor adopts this and addressed the concerns, then this may not have a path forward.

• After giving this some thought: with the nominator's lack of activity, and the work needed to bring this article to standard, I do not see it having a path forward unfortunately. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:58, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
